Volume 13 Confusion
The Black Forest is a product of the long-term coexistence between humans and beasts, and most of the villages and towns near Huoyun Mountain rely on the mountains for food, hunting, collecting medicine, picking wild fruits, and cutting firewood to sustain their own lives. Although the strength of man is weak, he cannot face the fierce beasts alone, but relying on his own wisdom, he has cooperated and united with each other, and he has barely supported his own life, and in the long-term conflict, he has slowly found a balance, and the man and the beast have gradually reached a unique tacit understanding: the area of activity of the beasts will be divided into a radius of 100 miles centered on Huoyun Peak, and human beings will not set foot lightlyEven if it is noon, the sun rarely reaches the ground, making the forest dim and gloomy, so it is called the Black Forest, and the place outside the Black Forest is designated as a place for human activities, and production and life are carried out in this area.
Human beings have been continuing this tradition, the beasts are also growing for a long time, subconsciously also developed this kind of habit, do not leave the Black Forest, of course, there is no absolute, sometimes human beings in order to pick better and more herbs, or in order to have a better hunting harvest, will also take risks to find resources in the Black Forest, but it is almost difficult to get out of the whole body, after all, it is the territory of the fierce beasts, human beings are still like this, beasts do not have the wisdom of humans, do not know how to avoid danger, and will not fully comply with this unregulated regulations, so occasionally there will be fierce beasts to the human activity ground, but because of the Orion Hunts, almost no favor, even loss of life. In this way, the two sides maintain a dynamic balance, and although the mountain people live a hard life, they can be regarded as worry-free about food and clothing.
Ming Xuan had never been to the Black Forest, at most he had been to its edge a few times, and he had taken the risk because there was no harvest from collecting medicine; even so, when he felt the eerie aura emanating from the Black Forest and the faint cry of the fierce beast, he couldn't help but make Ming Xuan feel creepy and chills in his heart.
With the breakthrough to the martial artist, after the ability has soared significantly, the collection of medicine has become simple, Ming Xuan has never been to the edge of the Black Forest again, it has been more than two years, and then he entered the forest to practice, and now he can shuttle through the forest with ease, Ming Xuan has never set foot in it again, and the fear of that place has been deeply imprinted in Ming Xuan's mind.
There are also fierce beasts in the forest, Ming Xuan has also encountered them, although they are also very dangerous, but they are not afraid, Ming Xuan still has no problem saving his life, but it is said that those fierce beasts in the forest are all eliminated in the Black Forest Town, either they fail in the fight, or they have lost their own territory, and they have to fall outside the Black Forest, you can imagine how powerful the fierce beasts in the Black Forest are, this is not the point, the main thing is the number, then your fierce beasts are countless, Ming Xuan does not think that he can get out of the whole body.
"Grandpa...... Are you serious?......" Ming Xuan's voice trembled slightly, swallowed his saliva, and said uneasily.
"Do you think I'm joking? I'm joking?!" Grandpa was very dissatisfied with Mingxuan's attitude.
"Yes...... But...... Grandpa, I'm ...... I don't think I'm strong enough, can I not go to the Black Forest first?" Ming Xuan didn't dare to continue what he said before, but he couldn't completely eliminate the fear in his heart.
"Cultivators often set some lofty goals and catch-up objects on the road of cultivation, or their own teachers, or the famous chivalrous masters, or a giant power, to use as their own imaginary enemies to stimulate their fighting spirit, stimulate themselves to redouble their efforts, in fact, people's biggest opponents are not others, but themselves, only by constantly surpassing themselves and defeating themselves, can they achieve greater success, take you for example, a year ago let you go into the forest to experience, aren't you also anxious, can you imagine what you look like today, why are you so completely timid this time"Grandpa was a little angry at Mingxuan's arrogance.
"It used to be so gutless...... But...... But this time it's the Black Forest......" Ming Xuan admitted that his grandfather had a point, but this time it was the Black Forest that he had experienced, and it was the most terrifying place in this Huoyun Mountain, so he couldn't help but feel scared.
"Nothing is indispensable! If you can't defeat yourself and overcome the fear in your heart, you won't be able to make greater progress and break through the limits, because you can't look directly at yourself, and you don't have the courage to move forward.
Ming Xuan has not been to the Black Forest, but it does not mean that others have not been there, on the contrary, there are actually a lot of people who go, when the herbs are scarce or wild beasts are scarce, when people's lives are in distress, there will be people who take risks to the Black Forest in the hope of having a good harvest, but ten medicine pickers go in, and it is very good that four of them can come out alive; , In less than a day's effort, there were only eight people when they came out, and none of them were uninjured, and two of them were disabled, except for Brother Zhang of Niu Village, who snatched back half of his body's bones in the mouth of the beast, the others didn't even leave the bones, Mingxuan still can't forget the bloody scene, and can't forget the cry of their relatives.
Ming Xuan was a little confused, the purpose of his original choice of this path was actually very simple, that is, he wanted to be able to help him when he saw injustices like Brother Li, and he could go to see the colorful world outside, and he could have strong skills. But so far, I have come out of hard cultivation, which is hard cultivation, although I really feel the joy of my own improvement, but it has paid double the sweat and hard work.
Especially in the past year, it is not only the baptism of sweat, but also the test of life and death, several times Ming Xuan has reached out and been seriously injured, and it took a long time to recover, and the iron sword has been curled several times, and the strong smell of blood of the abolished iron sword makes Ming Xuan very uncomfortable, although it is just some beasts in the mountains, and many of them are bloody executioners, but after all, it is also a fresh life.
Ming Xuan suddenly missed his previous life, that period of life when he didn't start cultivating, although it was hard, but it was carefree, happy, playing in the mountains and forests, feeling the fragrance of birds and flowers, and not like now, as soon as he entered the woods, he looked focused, carefully not letting go of any every move, and walked with murderous intent.
What's more, this time I have to go to the Black Forest, for Ming Xuan, it is almost a place of death and life.
Is this qiē what you want?
Ming Xuan is not afraid of hardship, in fact, he no longer knows what it feels like, and he is not afraid of being tired, because he doesn't know what it means to be tired, which has become a part of his life. Every day was full, and there wasn't so much time for him to think about things other than cultivation, and this time Ming Xuan really needed to reflect thoroughly.
The stars in the sky are very beautiful, Ming Xuan is stupid to see, he hasn't paid attention to these for a long time, he used to fall asleep as soon as he got into bed, and he has never leaned on the window like now, blowing the warm breeze, and quietly enjoying this qiē.
Suddenly, Mingxuan saw a figure not far from the window, it was grandpa, it turned out that grandpa was not sleeping, Mingxuan walked to grandpa gently, and followed grandpa, but did not speak.
"Do you think grandpa is very strict with you, very bad?" grandpa broke the tranquility.
"No, Grandpa, I know that you are good for me, and it is my own problem. Ming Xuan hurriedly defended.
"Then what do you think of yourself?" Grandpa was very calm, not like he was teaching Mingxuan, let alone reprimanding, but like he was talking to a friend.
Ming Xuan was a little surprised, but he also said everything in his heart, for his grandfather, Ming Xuan never hid what he thought.
"You are very good, really good, many people in the process of cultivation, will have a kind of fanaticism, too much to pursue the ultimate, strong themselves, often will lose their nature, although you have experienced less now, and you are not tempted much, but it is good to be able to reflect on yourself. Grandpa unexpectedly praised Mingxuan, but Mingxuan was a little overwhelmed.
"In fact, in my heart, grandpa doesn't really want you to cultivate, because this is a road of no return, in fact, as long as you live happily and happily all your life, nothing else matters, the more you know, the more troubles you will have, simple is not a kind of happiness, who said that you must first enter the world when you are born, and you will live outside the world all your life, although it is monotonous, but it is also a real happiness. Grandpa's words made Ming Xuan confused, but it didn't seem to be completely said to Ming Xuan, more like to himself.
"Xiao Xuan, no matter what your decision is, grandpa will support you, remember, whether it is now or in the future, everything must be done according to your own heart, even if you are wrong or fail, don't regret it. After Grandpa finished speaking, he entered the house, leaving behind an old figure.
"Grandpa......" Looking at the back of grandpa's departure, Mingxuan's vision gradually blurred.
